This offseason poses challenges for the Celtics following Brad Stevens' press conference where he discussed key issues including injuries to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and team performance. Tatum faces a lengthy recovery from ruptured achilles tendon surgery, indicating he could be sidelined for up to a year. Stevens emphasized the tough emotional road ahead for Tatum, who has a strong desire to play. Additionally, Stevens noted the fortunate timing of Tatum's injury, allowing for prompt expert intervention. The Celtics will need to address these injury challenges moving forward.
"Obviously, that's hard. Super hard, for Jayson more than anybody. As has been well-documented, he loves to play. I think even missing two games has been grueling for him."
"He was out of the MRI and consultation and done with surgery by the time we had an injury report the next day. Because there was real benefit to doing it early."
"We know that there's a long road ahead and there's going to be several steps that he'll have to take before he ultimately gets back on the court."
"As tough as the injury is and as tough as it was that night, just an amazing set of circumstances."
